Malta Residency Program

Full Service Provider - Concierge | Financials&Legals | Property Acquisitions

Malta’s government published the regulations for its new expedited route to citizenship through investment. The previous citizenship by investment program (MIIP) was officially closed after it reached the cap of 1800 applications. It was after then that the new program (MEIN) was introduced in November 2020. This new program offers a secure EU relocation route with a fast and straightforward residency acquisition.

Citizenship by Investment Malta is a popular investment program in Europe, primarily as it has benefitted the investors in the long run. The Maltese Government introduced it to facilitate foreign investment and business expertise into the country.

Situated in the center of the wonderful Mediterranean sea, Malta is an ideal country to be called a second home. Not only because of the beauty and climatic conditions but also due to the latest programs that let an individual flourish in the business world.
